Build a wide, one-row-per-game crosswalk linking ESPN and WNBA Stats game ids (with NA Fox/Yahoo placeholders) for a season. Dates from both sources are reduced to the local Eastern-Time game date before joining. Note: the WNBA Stats CDN serves the current season only, so the live builder is effectively current-season; historical coverage comes from cached release artifacts.
Usage
wnba_schedule_crosswalk(season = most_recent_wnba_season())Value
A wehoop_data tibble, one row per game (columns: season,
season_type, game_date, resolved home_espn_team_id/away_espn_team_id,
espn_game_id, wnba_game_id, wnba_game_code, Fox/Yahoo placeholders,
match_method, match_confidence).
